Shorts and Bell's Distribution through Michigan.

In order of preference: Siciliano's in Grand Rapids, Kingma's Market in Grand Rapids, Martha's Vineyard in Grand Rapids, International Beverage Grand Rapids.

 

Siciliano's is my favorite store in GR but I feel like Shorts beers move pretty quickly there. Martha's usually has a ton of Shorts but they are a bit pricey.
I work in Holland and there are many stores that have MANY Shorts beers. I could probably pick some up for you if you'd like...

 

In Kalamazoo, Drake's, Tiffany's, and of course the Bell's general store.

 

From Ontario, are you coming across through Detroit, or you going across in Port Huron?

If you are coming through Detroit, shoot up I-96 to Livonia. There is a store called Wine Palace at the Middlebelt exit that carries a ton of Short's. They get more Short's beer than anyone else around here. Even though it is older, they still have some Cup A Joe and some Bloody Beer left, and probably some other seasonals like Publican Porter and others. If you don't mine a 2 month old DIPA, they may still even have some Liberator.

 

go to Peters Gourmet imports in grandville its only 10 miles south of grand rapids. they have alot of shorts beers and there all pretty cheap!

 

and also they have alot of bells beers as well.

 

Stop at the Lager Mill in Frankenmuth.

 

Just a FYI if you or anyone else wants to know .Super2 liquor in
Coldwater Mi has very good stock & prices of what your looking for .I know this may not be on you route . But had to speak out right now they have at least a doz. cases of DOUBLE CROOKED TREE!!!

Cheers all

 

I went to Siciliano's on Saturday after all the locals in the KBS line raved about the place, was less than impressed. Nothing I haven't seen or been able to get from stores in the Metro Detroit area. Plus, do they not carry DFH products?.

Stop by Holiday in Royal Oak, Merchant's in Dearborn or Super Liquor IV in Ann Arbor (It's one block to the south of the State Street exit off I-94). The others are off 94, but not by very much.

 

They would gladly carry DFH products as would any store on this side of the state if they could get any. Go in any store in Kalamazoo and you will see zero DFH as well. We have been in a drought for a little over a year despite bitching from our reps.

 

You can pretty much stop at any nice grocery store in Grand Rapids and find Bell's and Short's beers. If you go a bit out of your way, Pauly's in Lowell usually has a pretty great selection, and is rarely mentioned.

 

You'll have to trust the other BA's on here for that one, man. I don't know the Port Huron area.

 

Had no idea that was the case being on the west side of the state. When I pick up my 75 Min this week I'll pour a little out for you guys.

 

You should be aware of border restrictions as well on alcohol. You can bring 1 case/24 bottles per person without declaring (and paying duties on) INTO canada. However, you can only bring 1 bottle of anything (beer, wine, hard alcohol) into the US without declaring (and paying duties on). The downside of cutting through Canada. Please correct me if I am wrong, this is the impression I got on my last trip to Montreal.

 

Yeah, for some stupid fucking reason we can't get DFH in Kalamazoo.

 

Except for those bottles of World Wide Stout with dust on them at Tiffanys for $15 per bottle! They are a joke!!!

 

lol...I looked at those a few days ago and noticed someone bought one or two. I think there are only two left.

 

From what ive gathered is the going rate for a bottle is $10.

Sorry for the thread jack but any Western Michigan people who are looking for DFH I found a few of them at PM Expeditions just outside of Ludington.
